  6. Put the word out to all Utility Payers, University Students, Civic Organizations, Veterans, Families, Business Owners, Everyone who pays a utility bill –this is about YOU:

    Are WE disgusted with our government calling us STUPID … did not We the People read our safe and effective analog meters for decades and no one at APS blinked at eye or failed to make a profit? Read on…

    This is oppressive and it’s a bipartisan money grab – tell the government NO. The utilities are monopolies – we have NO option – therefore, We the People MUST control these monopolies.

    READ below from the APS petition to the ACC (ACC denies or approves new fees) for its requested $75 PLUS $30 a month NEW meter fees before We the People even turn on a light bulb!

    If you’re tired of being called STUPID, take the time to say it by using this link:

    (click on the link and SHOUT IT DOWN – SAY NO FEES!)

    PLEASE NOTE – YOU CAN BE FROM ANYWHERE – you do not have to be from Arizona or an APS ratepayer to comment – how sweet is that!! Tell the government and APS to take their oppressive fees and stick ’em back! (How many $30 a month or $360 a year raises did YOU earn this year? APS will charge you a ONE TIME SET UP FEE OF $75 for the privilege of paying $30 a month…!)

    Staff has evaluated APS’s proposed Schedule 17 and the estimated costs the Company has provided for this program.

    Staff also examined the operation and charges of similar AMI Opt-Out programs in other jurisdictions.

    Staff recognizes that there are costs associated with maintaining an (Yes? This makes no sense…) will not be able to utilize the advanced capabilities AMI meters provide. Staffs evaluation of APS’s proposal included specific inquiries into the most appropriate method for reading the analog meters for customers in &Is program. The use of an analog meter necessitates on-site meter reading, and Staff evaluated different options for the timing of reads. older meter technology for a select group of customers, and that those customers and the Company – APS has expressed opposition to self-reading to Staff.

    The Company cites concerns about safety, inaccurate and/or untimely meter reads,
    deliberate false reads, and administrative difficulties as reasons to avoid a self-read
    program.

    (Did you pay attention? We the People were just called STUPID and THIEVES and DEVIOUS and CROOKS…read the last paragraph again if you missed it.)
